Another OC'er has been lost

[builtjeep]

Just wanted to let everyone know, my father, Jerry McNeill - aka celticredneck, passed this weekend. He had been unable to attend many events over the last couple of years due to health issues, he battled stage 4 breast cancer for the last 6 years. In that time, he attended lobby days, open carry dinners, battled the Amelia sheriff over his and my mom's CHP's, he got to meet 2 grandchildren, the oldest of whom will start school this fall, spent a great deal of time with family and friends enjoying the outdoors, and simply enjoying good company. He kept tabs on the forum, though he didn't contribute much in the last couple of years. He and I often spoke of grapeshot and other rabblerousers here, we mourned the passing of Peter nap and skidmark, and so I wanted to let the OC community know of his passing.

We will be having a small gathering of friends at Point of Rocks park in Enon, on St Patrick's day, March 17 at 10am if anyone wishes to attend. We will be in shelter #3.

May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.

Thank you

When this forum loses a member we often have no idea why. I regret that as I knew his handle, I never connected it with his face. I need to do better. Condolences are tendered to you and your family.

The weather was cooperative as we gathered to pay tribute to Jerry McNeill - aka celticredneck.

He will be missed, but leaves a legacy behind that will live in others.

After I got back home, I waxed nostalgic (bitter sweet that it is) and ran an Advanced Single Mode Search on celticredneck. Reread many of his contributions - he was always the gentleman.

Vios con dios Jerry - thank you.

For the family we send our prayers and support.

For those of us that did not know him personally but by reputation I remember the words a our great WWll hero Gen. George Patton.
We will not morn the death of such a man but will thank God that such a man did live. He raised a Patriot. That is evident. He influenced many younger Patriots. Thank you for sharing his legacy.

Sir, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your presence, your kindness, and your conversation, short though ours may have been. My father had a great deal of respect for you, your opinions, and your contributions, as do I, and it meant a lot to me to see you there.

Thank you for your generous words.

I held your father in high esteem. My thoughts continue to be with you and your family.
